Gamblin : PVA Size : 1 Litre

Gamblin PVA size is a contemporary size for fabric support when painting with oil and acrylic. Conservation scientists recommend painters use neutral pH PVA size on linen and canvas instead of rabbit skin glue. PVA provides a sound size layer that seals the fabric but does not reabsorb atmospheric moisture or swell and shrink like rabbit skin glue does.

There are hundreds of different formulae of PVA. With the help of research from the Canadian Conservation Institute, Gamblin have produced a PVA size suitable for painters and conservators. Gamblin PVA Size is made from PVA that has a neutral pH and does not yellow. It also retains its flexibility and does not emit harmful volatiles.
